"there's no platonic explanation for this", but this time there's not a romantic one either, or a sexual one, or even an alterous one, you know what? not all things need an explanation, sometimes people just feel

I hope your 2024 is full of aromanticism <2
do you love the colors of the arospec?
which ones?
The 5 common questions people have about aplatonics
so, I've seen so many blogs on the aplatonic tag having to answer the same questions over and over again, so I figured I could make a list so that people can have an easier time getting to the answers they are looking for! (and apl people can just link back to this post if they're asked one of this questions, if they want to)
What does aplatonic mean?
Aplatonic is a term that refers to the lack of (or experiencing little) platonic attraction or platonic love, it can also mean having trouble forming platonic relationships due to trauma or being neurodivergent.
2. Does that mean aplatonic people don't have friends?
Not necessarily, there are aplatonic people who don't (desire to) have friends or wouldn't label any relationship they have as friendship (even though, to an outsider, some would seem as one), for numbers of reasons.
However, there are some aplatonic people who do have friends, but they're not really close to them/don't feel love for them.
love and care are different things, you can care for someone and want the best for them even when you're not close enough to them to love them.
3. But if aplatonic people don't have friends, does that mean they don't socialize with anyone?
Nope! friendships aren't the only way you can socialize with people. Family, classmates, coworkers, lovers, neighbors, those are all people you have have nice conversations with!
4. Are all aplatonics also aromantic?
Not all of them, while it's true that there are a lot of people who are both aro and apl (see: me), there are aplatonics who are alloromantic (feel romantic attraction) or just don't label their romantic orientation.
(fun fact, the original coiner of the aplatonic label is an alloromantic asexual!)
5. Are all aplatonics also loveless?
Again, not all of them, there is a great overlap between the aplatonic and loveless community (shout out to my loveless apls!), but not all aplatonics identify as loveless.
Some love in a romantic way, familiar way, alterous way (if you don't know what alterous attraction is, I recommend looking it up!) or just in a completely unique but ultimately queer way (hi, it's me, I'm lovequeer).
I still don't really get it...
That's okay, you don't have to understand something to respect it, if you're still curious and want to learn more about us, there are multiple blogs on the #aplatonic tag sharing their different experiences with aplatonicism, you just have to know where to look!
And remember! the Aspec includes the aplatonic spectrum, you can't say you support aspecs if you don't support aplatonic people as well!
amatonormativity day? WRONG, AROMANTIC BEAM

master-list of arospec labels and microlabels
I like collecting knowledge of a lot of queer labels,arospec ones being no exception,so I'm doing a big post with all the ones I know, for fun and because it could be helpful for questioning folks out there!
all under the cut!
Yesterday I finished watching The Queen's Gambit (I'm late to the party I know) and I could talk about how I as a (kind of) chess enthusiast really enjoyed it BUT
Beth Harmon is so aroallo you can't convince me otherwise, "oh but what about townes" shut up shut up (/lh) she met townes when she was like 13, she saw a handsome guy that was nice to her and went "is this what love feels like" no Beth physical attraction + liking his personality ≠ love, I've been there trust me.
It's just so refreshing, you never see Beth be curious about the romantic aspects of relationship (holding hands, dates,gifts) but you do see her being curious about the physical aspects (like when she thinks back on the occasions when she saw couples kissing/making out)
And afterwards, the people who she ends up having "fun" with don't become her romantic interests, they become her friends, people who genuinely care about her and her well being (except random college guy #1 but who cares about him anyways)
In the last episode, when Townes comes back? I was so tense, "yeah this is it, he's gonna say he loves her and get together at the last second god fucking dammit", and then the relief I felt when he said "you know I always wanted us to be friends"
I don't know I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm glad her happy ending didn't involve a romance at all.
In conclusion.
